Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

Rebecca texted me at some ungodly hour this morning to inform me that she can't leave to go back to Washington DC until she sees me. So I told her that I'm going to hide so that she has to stay here forever. But then she reminded me that if my goal is to keep her here so I can spend time with her, hiding so that she has to stay will undermine my objective. So I reminded her that she told me she can't leave until she sees me, but if I see her, that will have no effect on whether or not she leaves, WHICH MEANS (stay with me here): although I needed no more motivation for it, I have just discovered yet another benefit in my life to stalking.

And now, your Pictures and Distractions:
Eli and the Pantses at Survivor party. 




Matt installs Eli's canned lights without destroying the house. 

Matt and Cathie have a plot to get Eli to go to the fabric story 1 billion times before he dies.

The new canned lights in action. 

I painted this old nightstand with leftover paint. 

My friend Skylar at Oktoberfest. 

The Pantses!

Mr. Pants got stuck snooping in this bag (after he had been told not to 1,000 times). And it was amazing. 

I made the world's ugliest birthday cake for Troy's birthday.

    I don't know if it's the graininess or the paint, but that nightstand actually looks like it's made of some kind of rock or stone.

      I thought it was lead shavings mixed with leftover cake frosting.

      I've used that stuff before (or at least some relative of it). It's pretty cool!

    I thought you frosted the cake with Rainbow Chip Frosting. It smacks with childhood nostalgia. It's finally back in stores now after being discontinued. If you haven't tried it yet, please do so.

    Just a tip, Eli: watch "Portlandia" season 5, the episode called "You Can Call Me Al." Because WHAT IF PAUL SIMON.

    I don't even watch (or care about) Survivor, but I had to read your review all the way through, because it was so funny.

    Of all the things in the world that I WISELY spend my time on, Survivor and Stranger are the very best! Eli recapping Survivor is the best thing to happen to me this fortnight.
